Lonely Polar Bear
While littering is a massive problem in nature, we are also facing climate change which is even bigger and worse. There is already a lot of evidence showing that the ice caps are melting, meaning polar bears have less and less area to move on, and if they end up on a drifting ice floe they may be too far out to sea for them to swim back.
The ice caps have helped reflect the suns radiation, ensuring the heat isn’t absorbed by the ocean. The raising temperatures are also a thread to the current ecological systems: as the water temperature rises, fish migrate, introducing predators to eco-systems which are unable to see them as the threats they are.
